Junior Sailing

The 2017 Topper World Championships were held at Loctudy, France 22-28th July. The location was excellent, based at the Centre Nautique in the middle of a broad sandy bay.

The weather conditions were good throughout, with all 5 days sailable, characterised as 3 days Force 3+; 2 days Force 2, which made for a great competition across the fleet of 211 competitors. The Toppers were divided into two world fleets : 156 entries in the 5.3 class and 55 in the 4.2 class

Where has the summer gone? We can’t believe how time has flown by as we get ready to enter our final junior summer course. Each course has been jam-packed with fun and excitement, and plenty of new friendships made.
